Sorry, I misspoke.  I was thinking that my `M-w'
copies the current search _match_, but it copies
the search string (input pattern), `isearch-string'.

The argument that it's better to use `M-w' during
search for that because you can use it multiple
times still holds, but only because you can change
the search pattern (during search) - not _also_
because the same pattern can match different text.

It probably makes sense to also have a command
that copies the current search match.  And maybe
that's the best candidate for `M-w' (not a command
that copies `isearch-string').
